Indra Sen's Correspondence with The Mother

October 1946

I am glad that R himself will dispose of the leave applications of his workers. I wish that others too would deal with their section workers like this. Reactions sometimes arise in the section heads when I send round some general information, but previously, when I did not do it, many of them missed being informed of things in a regular way! At the moment I feel the need of withdrawing, attending to my work in the type stores and being relieved of general responsibilities, which are irksome to others. I hope you approved of my dropping the designation "Deputy Director" in signing the report yesterday.

Titles in my view are of quite a minor importance. More of a play than of anything serious and most often it has very little connection with the true position that each one occupies in a work.
